Dear travelers, It is my pleasure that you are reviewing my profile and tours. I am a licensed tour guide, graduated in International Tourism - MBA. I am also a member of the Association of Bulgarian Tour Guides. Since 2002 I have gained the experience of creating tailor made itineraries and/or routes, professionally organize and do individual tours around Bulgaria, acting both as a driver and a tour guide. In the same time a am a proud father of two young boys, who, hopefully I will be able to show the world once they are grown up enough :) My services include guiding - giving the travelers rich historical and cultural information about the whole of Bulgaria, driving - providing airport transfers, as well as transfers to Bulgaria neighboring countries - Bucharest (Romania), Edirne, Istanbul (Turkey), Thessaloniki (Greece), Skopje, Ohrid (Republic of Macedonia - F. Y. R. O. M) Belgrade (Serbia) By choosing a personal tour guide you are actually choosing to have personal service, caring attitude and to receive up-to-date information about the daily life - a review over the economics, arts, education and health care in Bulgaria. I can also provide interpreting and translating services having more than 10 years experience. Licensed tour guide, licence #00384, issued by Ministry of Tourism of Republic of Bulgaria.

Overview of your Sofia tour

A one-day intensive tour showing both Thracian and Roman heritage in Bulgaria. Starosel is the first place to visit on our tour. This is where in 2004 was exavated the biggest Thracian tomb and a sanctuary in the Balkans. After we discover about the Thracians and their cults and traditions we will drive for about 2 hours to Plovdiv - the oldest constantly populated city in Europe! Plovdiv will show us the local Roman heritage and will also take us along the rough cobble-stoned streets reminding us about the more recent history from the 19th century.
